This is a very busy and obviously popular establishment. Beautiful scenery and nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly. On a rainy day I am sure one can spend the whole day looking out at the sea.
Quality of food excellent. Deserving of a good rating!!!!!

East head cafe is a must do stop in knysna. The place has positive vibes all around - from the people to the food to the views. Our food was scrumptious, staff super friendly and drinks were delicious. Cannot imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in knysna.

Good food. Only serves breakfast, lunch and cakes etc. - no dinner. Wonderful view. There were no open tables outside so we sat inside. We still had a lovely meal and view. Quite pricey lunches, but this is not your average restaurant. Well worth the visit!

The food was unique and delicious, especially the house salad (with pickled blueberries, almond mayo and juicy smoked chicken). The view is also very beautiful,...

We felt in love with East Head Cafe from the very beginning. The place makes you feel welcomed from the first moment. The staff is very attentive, the food is outstanding (we went for breakfast) and the view is great. If you are in Knysna - don't miss the East Head Cafe ; it's definitely a "must" !
